Six new awards from the Leverhulme Trust to members of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê community reflect the diversity and excellence of research at the university.

Research Fellowships were awarded to: Professor James Croll (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Civil & Enviromental Engineering), to study thermal ratchets in glacial and periglacial mechanics; Professor Julian Graffy (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê School of Slavonic & East European Studies), to examine the representation of foreigners in Russian film; Dr Andrew Hemingway (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê History of Art), for 'American Modern: Precisionist painting and reification', and Professor David Tuckett (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Psychology), to conduct a psychoanalytic study of investment markets.

Early Career Fellowships were awarded to Giancarlo Gavioli (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Electronic & Electrical Engineering), to explore 160Gb/s digital optical devices, and Kristin Kovarovic (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Anthropology), for 'Hominin Palaeoecology: Comparing fossil bovid evidence'.

The Leverhulme Trustees place special weight on the originality of the projects put to them, the significance of the proposed work, the ability to judge and take appropriate risk in the project, and the removal of barriers between traditional disciplines.
